A Hobgoblin appears on a dead end like I expected, and it lets out a roar.
‘Guoooooh!!’
“Ayane, the camera?”
“All ready!”

“Hum, it’s my first time seeing its stats, but it really is weak.
‘Gah!’
Clink!
The Hobgoblin glares at me with its face distorted by rage, as if it’s reacting to my words, and swings its steel great sword down. But it’s a mere level ten monster, so even with Super Strength, I can easily block it with my mithril sword. I don’t even have to use Dual-Wielding.
It feels a lot weaker than when I faced it days ago. Well, the reality is that I’m stronger…
I overpower it with one hand, not putting that much strength into it, and activate the transceiver with the other.
“Hello, this is darling.”
‘Guooh!!’
‘W-wait, Shouta!? I can hear the monster’s voice really close by!!’
“No Aki, I just forgot to ask something about the video.”
‘And you’re asking now!?’
“I’m supposed to get its moves on camera, but how long?”
I can take it down in one hit, but the video will be used as a reference for how it moves. I feel like it’s wrong to just take it down as soon as it spawns, so I figured I’d ask.
But I guess there’s no reason whatsoever why it had to be now.
‘…Ahh, Shouta, make it at least two or three minutes. If possible, make it so it’s easy to discern when it uses its skill.’
“Got it Maki.”
I peek at the Hobgoblin, and it’s breathing heavily, so the effect of the first time it used Super strength has run out. The base Super Strength only lasts for a minute.
If it’s this tired, there’s not much point in recording it.
I put the transceiver back in my pocket, and raise my hand. A Fireball and a short sword damage it, and I jump in to cut its head.
“I didn’t level up.”
“Nicely done, master.”
“Is this good enough for the video?”
“I think so.”
“I assume it won’t be an issue.”
“Then let’s wait for the rare Ⅱ.”
After a few minutes, the smoke gathers, and a monster I’m familiar with appears.
‘Gegyah?’

“Yep, weak.”
‘Gugyah!?’
I kick its wide open stomach, and it flies all the way to the wall.
I tried to hold back a little, but that’s enough to get it breathing heavily. I managed to fully attract its hostility, but is there a point in recording more?
“Master, let us film it anyway.”
“…Got it.”
My back is turned to her, but she still read my mind. Our maid really is perceptive.
I face it for a few minutes, and then cut its head like I did with the Hobgoblin.
【Level up】
【Leveled up from forty to forty-one】
“That about does it.”
“Yes, good job.”
“And it’s all recorded!”
“Let’s keep going like this.”
There are three dead ends on the first floor. Left close to the entrance, left deep into the floor, and right also deep. After taking out Hobgoblins and General Goblins in the other two spots, I level up to forty-two.
And after hunting a hundred goblins again on the third spot, back and to the right…
‘Guoooh!!’

“Yes, it got two times noisier. It’s not a threat.”
“It seems that way.”
“Do we need to record the powered up one?”
“Well, we won’t make it public, but we still need to report to the branch manager, so please do.”
“Yes!”
Like before, I try to hold back as I deal with the monster, and after letting the girls attack, I finish it.
【Received Hobgoblin trophy】

“I figured that would be the case, but it really is treated as a different one. It makes sense, if there are rare monster Hobgoblins in other dungeons.”
“So are you going to line up the Hobgoblin trophies from all dungeons?”
“Can I? Well, I’d rather just look for the treasure chests and keys instead.”
“Yes! Are we going to look for them right away?”
“…No, I want to see if a powered up version of a rare Ⅱ will appear. Let’s hunt a hundred more.”
“Yes!”
“Understood.”
We get hunting again, and take out another Hobgoblin, but… A regular General Goblin spawns after that.
Yes, there isn’t a powered up version of a rare Ⅱ. That’s kind of disappointing.

Thanks for the treat.
